Step-Mother has Given Up

With Ye Shaofu's help, Shen Yanmo got the female household's paperwork as he wished in one day.

The weather was getting warmer, and after dinner, Shen Yanmo led a few people to enjoy the coolness in the pavilion. She was holding a fan, shaking the fan while talking to a few girls. Speaking of adopting orphans, Furong and Yuhe looked at each other.

Yuhe brought a bowl of ginseng soup, stirred it twice, and handed it to Shen Yanmo: "Ma'am, this is a big issue, we should consider it carefully. If you want to adopt, you should also adopt a child of good character."

Shen Yanmo nodded: "They say that they look old when they are three years old, and I also want to adopt a good character."

"It's better to let Young Master Yun take a look. The slave servant sees that the people around him are pretty good, which shows that Young Master Yun is good at seeing people." Furong held the cut watermelon on the table and looked at Yan Qing, Qiuyue and Dongxue. He smiled and said, "What do you think would be better if you ask Mr. Yun for help? Look at Mr. Yun's Lin Qi and my brother. If my brother's character is not good, Mr. Yun will never accept him. Shishi, Young Master Yun also thinks Shishi knows how to be grateful, filial to Mrs. Jin, and is a kind-hearted child, so he should be accepted."

With that said, Yan Qing nodded: "Master Yun is a decent man and is willing to help others. It's best to ask him for help."

Qiuyue and Dongxue also wanted to ask Young Master Yun for help, but they didn't dare to call the shots without authorization. They looked at Shen Yanmo and waited for her to make the final decision.

Mother Liu also felt that Furong and Yuhe made sense: "It's a big deal, and if you don't get it right, you have to be cautious instead of raising enemies."

Yuhe took a piece of watermelon to Lady Jin: "Mrs. Jin also said, our wife listens to you the most."

The Golden Lady took a bite of the watermelon, wiped her mouth with her kerchief, and said: "Mother Liu is right, raising children needs to be cautious, and staying with our little Jiayu and Xiao Jiaao all day long. Raising them is easy, just in case. If our baby is broken, the gain will not be worth the loss."

Shen Yanmo nodded, and thought for a moment: "My aunt is right, I will talk to Young Master Yun another day and ask him for help."

"Please help me for anything, I am happy to help." On the other side of the wall was Ye Shaofu's voice.

Several people followed the prestige. Ye Shaofu sat on the wall, dressed in white, holding a folding fan, looking at them.

Fortunately, there are lanterns by the wall, so you can see that the person here is Ye Shaofu, otherwise you thought it was a disciple.

Shen Yanmo got up and greeted a few steps: "Don't see evil, don't listen to evil, how can Young Master Yun learn to listen to the corner?"

Ye Shaofu jumped off the wall easily and walked slowly over: "It's not that Yun Mou listened to the corner of the wall, but you talked too loudly and disturbed my purity. And I heard you mention Yun Mou and still begging for something, Yun Mouruo. Wouldn't it be more rude not to come out and say it?"

Shen Yanmo turned red, covered half of his face with a ball fan, and coughed softly: "Since Young Master Yun heard it, what does Young Master Yun think?"

"Not so?" Ye Shaofu walked into the pavilion and saw a plate of watermelon on the stone table. He was polite to pick up a piece of watermelon and ate a piece of it. Buy some too."

He ate a piece of melon, took out the kerchief and wiped his hands. Feeling that his hands were still a bit sticky, he pointed to Qiuyue and said, "Help me get a pot of water."

Qiuyue was startled slightly, and looked around, seeing that Ye Shaofu was referring to her, and nodding hurriedly in response, she raised her foot and went out to fetch water.

Shen Yanmo frowned slightly when she saw this scene. Qiuyue was her servant girl, and Young Master Yun was not polite. It was the same as calling her own servant girl. Shen Yanmo was rather unnatural: "So what's your opinion about Young Master Yun?"

"It's natural to watch people slowly. Ask me for help. I can't refuse." Ye Shaofu picked up a piece of melon and prepared to eat. Lin Qi's voice came from the wall: "Master, you are unwell. Doctor Xue has ordered you not to eat it. Something cold, otherwise the stomach is upset."

Ye Shaofu didn't even think about it, and threw it over with a melon, yelling in his mouth: "Shut up to the Lord, it's your business everywhere."

Every time Shen Yanmo saw Ye Shaofu, he looked like a gentleman of Qianqian, and rarely got angry. He didn't expect to be angered by Lin Qi's words. Pu Chi laughed, and felt wrong again, so he was busy covering his mouth with a fan, and the smile between his eyebrows and eyes couldn't hide.

Lynch reached out to touch the watermelon, put it in his mouth, took a bite, squeaked, and said, "Thank you for the melon." After eating a piece of watermelon, he wiped his mouth with his hand, and said, "Madam, you look at my son, he Don’t eat cold ones, or your stomach will feel uncomfortable again.”

Shen Yanmo paused, seeing Ye Shaofu glaring at Lynch, nodded and said, "I know, I will look at him." The words gave Dongxue a wink, and Dongxue would take the watermelon away.

Ye Shaofu stretched out his hand anxiously: "Don't let me eat one more piece." He looked at a plate of watermelon being taken away with eyes that looked like an abandoned puppy.

He drinks medicine all the year round, but he rarely eats cold things. He just tasted a piece of melon, sweet as honey and juice like nectar. It tastes much better than the dark medicine. I can’t help but want to take a few more pieces, and I blame Lin. Odd that big mouth.

Shen Yanmo shook his head and laughed: "You can't eat cold ones. Yan Qing has made a lot of preserves. Why don't you take them back to try them. After drinking the medicine, your mouth is bitter. It's good to put one to suppress the bitterness."

Ye Shaofu wanted to refuse, but when she saw her speaking seriously, he nodded naturally.

Lynch climbed up the wall again and said loudly: "Madam, pretend to be more, my son loves sweets." He sold the master without a trace.

Ye Shaofu raised his hand, the fan in his hand flew out, angrily said: "You can't stop your mouth even if you eat."

Lynch caught the fan, unfolded it and shook it, and said with a hippie smile: "Sure enough, it's much cooler, thank you for the fan."

Lin Feng also climbed up the wall and saw Yan Qing approaching with a tray carrying a few plates of pastries, he jokingly said: "Madam, can you reward me with some pastries? I'm afraid my son will eat too much and accumulate food." The conversation turned to Yan Qing and beckoned: "Sister Qing'er, your craftsmanship is getting better and better. I can smell your cooking across the wall. Can you teach me another day? I can't eat it by smelling it. That's a scratching head."

This is to say that Yan Qing is cooking delicious. Yan Qing flushed, glanced at Shen Yanmo quickly, and gave Lin Feng a flying knife look: "Don't talk nonsense."

"What nonsense, if you don't believe me, ask my son. The son also praised the delicious food you cooked, but he was embarrassed to speak." Lin Feng put his chin in his hand and said slowly: "Madam, they all say once they are cooked, three times and four times. It’s a friend. My son has a life-saving grace for you and the little son, and has helped many times. I believe that my wife will not be stingy with these meals. From tomorrow on, we will come to eat dinner every day, I wonder if the wife is willing."

These words were exactly what Ye Shaofu meant. He looked at Shen Yanmo eagerly, with some begging in his eyes.

Shen Yanmo remembered that he was abandoned by his biological parents and his adoptive parents did not love him, so he nodded softly and agreed: "From tomorrow, I will let Qing'er cook more food. You can bring it back to eat."

Lin Feng jumped off the wall, ran to the pavilion and stood behind Ye Shaofu, and said shamelessly: "Madam takes time to eat. How can the freshly made taste taste good? Don't worry, we won't give you any trouble. go."

From this moment on, the high wall between the two mansions has become a decoration. Ye Shaofu took Lin Feng and Lin Qi over the wall to eat every day, and then over the wall back after dinner. Of course, he would tease Jia Yu and Jia Ao for a while. The two families have become one family.

These are all things to come, not for the time being.

A few people chatted for a while, hurriedly talked, and talked about the matter again. Ye Shaofu asked Shen Yanmo to wait and find out slowly. People need fate. Maybe children who are destined will come to the door automatically.

Mother Liu and Lady Jin also said wait, Furong and Yuhe were not in a hurry, Qiuyue and Dongxue said directly, listening to Young Master Yun can't be wrong.

With so much effort, Shen Yanmo's people have been bought by Ye Shaofu. Shen Yanmo stroked his forehead, feeling a little tired, and got up to leave with an excuse to look at the two children.

Ye Shaofu stood up and said, "I may not see my disciple for a long time, and take a glance with my wife. Madam will not mind, right?"

Shen Yanmo turned his head, wanting to say to mind, but he saw his handsome face like a knife cut, and slightly pale face, and the dream of that day appeared in his mind. After her death, was the tablet set by the son of Yun? Was it the eternal light he lit himself?

I wanted to refuse, the words were stuck in my throat, and after a short pause, he threw a sentence: "Whatever you want." He shook the ball fan and walked away quickly, without seeing whether Ye Shaofu followed.

Mother Liu followed closely, and looked back at Ye Shaofu who was following her, pursing her lips and smiling. She felt that Young Master Yun was interested in his wife.

It might be possible.

Ye Shaofu followed Shen Yanmo, looking at the slender figure going away, and sighed: "It's getting late today, and I will visit my two little disciples the next day." After that, he turned back and performed light work over the wall. , Fell in the Yunfu courtyard.

Shen Yanmo didn't care either. She didn't want Ye Shaofu to follow. When she heard him take the initiative to leave, she turned around and saw that Ye Shaofu was gone.

Lin Feng could talk hard, and was about to talk about killing water bandits and stealing water bandits that day. After showing off, order a few more dishes and let Yan Qing cook them for him, but he saw Ye Shaofu leave alone.

Lin Qi stared at Furong with a pair of eyes, but didn't even see Lin Feng winking at him. Lin Feng shook his head helplessly, the silly brother got stuck. Without talking to Lynch, holding two plates of pastries, he came to the wall and leaped gently, jumped on the top of the wall, and said to Yan Qing back: "Sister Qing'er, don't forget to make more delicious food for your brother."

If the prince marries his wife, he can also marry the people around his wife. Yan Qing is not bad. His father came from the imperial dining room, so his craftsmanship naturally has nothing to say. After marrying her, he will be happy.

When Furong saw that Lin Feng was gone, Lin Qi was still looking at her, blushing and flying on her cheeks, and couldn't help but remind her; "Lin Shiwei, your son, they are all gone, why are you still not leaving."

Lin Qi only recovered, and followed Lin Feng back with a sigh.

When they all left, Qiuyue looked at Yan Qing and Dongxue stared at Furong, and the two said in unison: "There is a situation, say, when did you hook up."

"What kind of hookup, how ugly to say." Yan Qing's cheeks burst red, and he took the tray and left.

Since Lin Feng rescued herself that day, she has had a good impression of Lin Feng. She felt that she should marry a hero like this. She wandered on the street and met Lin Feng again. She felt that God pity her, so she followed Lin Feng back to Shen's residence. Lin Feng is not from Shen Mansion.

Furong nodded Dongxue's forehead: "I think your little girl is thinking about spring." Stretching her arms, taking the bowl on the table and leaving, the stride Meteor has walked out of the pavilion.

Qiuyue laughed, and Dongxue stomped her feet. The Golden Lady also got up and left: "I'll look at the stone." The stone was punished for thinking behind closed doors and could not go out.

Qiuyue helped Golden Lady go down the steps.

Dongxue followed behind, pouting a look at Furong: "Sister Furong will bully people. With skill, others can't beat her."

Furong smiled indifferently: "If you want to learn kung fu, I can teach you how to fight with us?"

Ye Shaofu went back to the bedroom and lay on the bed, thinking of Shen Yanmo's cold eyes, his heart was blocked. Usually women run after him, when is it his turn to chase women.

Lin Feng took the cakes and knocked on the door: "Master, your subordinates took some cakes. Would you like to eat them?"

With a bang, something hit the door, and Lin Feng stopped talking. He knew that the master was really angry, and he waved to Lin Qi with the pastry. The brothers found a place to eat up the pastry and there was no one left.

Lynch rubbed his stomach: "I'm full, that little girl who can cook is good, brother looks up on you."

Lin Feng looked smug: "I also think that girl is pretty good."

"Lin Feng, Lin Qi, come in." It was Ye Shaofu's voice.

Lin Feng ignored the plate, and rushed into the house first. Lin Qi followed closely behind, and the two said in the same way: "What's the Lord's order?"

"Where are the pastries you brought back?" Ye Shaofu didn't eat much for dinner, and was a little hungry.

Lin Fenglinqi: You lost your temper just now, don't eat it, what's wrong now.

"No, no more." Lynch's tongue seemed to be knotted.

Lin Feng said, "Master, wait a moment, I'll go and have a look next door, let Qing'er girl make some tricks for you." Hua Luoren has already walked to the door, performing light work over the wall, and landed in the courtyard of Shen's house. inside.

Lynch looked back at the door and secretly scolded his brother for being unkind.

Half an hour later, Lin Feng came back. He took four dishes on the tray and brought a pot of wine. He put the dishes on the table respectfully and said: "Master, do you think it will work? No, I will let the girl make some more ."

Ye Shaofu sat and picked up the chopsticks and added a lotus root with cold lotus root: "Sit down together, Lin Feng performed well today, keep going." Turning to look at Lin Qi, "Look at Lin Feng, and then you, I can't help. You're going to be holding back your father, and your eyes are full of Furong. Haven't you seen a woman?"

Lin Qi was not polite. He sat directly opposite Ye Shaofu, picked up the flask and filled his glass: "The subordinate is one year younger than his master, and he is still a young child." He had never seen a woman when he grew up.

When Lin Feng ate the food in his mouth, he looked at Lin Qi dumbfounded. It took him a long time to return to his senses: "Brother, sometimes you don't have to tell the truth, it's not good for people to hear him."

Lynch raised his glass and drank it, then glanced at Lin Feng: "Who is like you, your tongue is slick."

Ye Shaofu knocked on the table, Lin Feng wanted to answer his mouth, but he couldn't speak anymore when he heard the sound. Then Ye Shaofu said, "Have you checked those two kids?"

Yes, the lady seems very anxious about this matter. He also has to hurry up.

On the way to Yangzhou, he saved two children, the oldest boy was five years old, and the youngest girl was three years old. The loyal servants who protected them are dead. If they hadn't met Ye Shaofu, the two children would have been in a different place.

Ye Shaofu looked cold, but he was not a coldhearted person, let alone two innocent children. After saving the two children, they were given to the people of Tianzihao to look after them, and they were instructed to find out the background of the two children. He came to Yangzhou.

"The news should be coming back soon." As soon as Lynch's voice fell, there was the sound of flapping wings.

Lin Feng got up and walked out: "It should be the carrier pigeons that have come back." He returned to the house, holding a note in his hand, and respectfully handing it to Ye Shaofu, "The people of Tianzi have sent a message back."

Ye Shaofu unfolded the note and read it carefully, then smiled, "It's a godsend. Those two children are the prince and princess of Yan Kingdom."

Lin Qidao looked down and thought for a while: "Are they the children of Princess Qingyue?"

Princess Qingyue is the sister of the current emperor. When the emperor ascended the throne, the situation was unstable, and the country of Yan took the opportunity to launch war.

The emperor couldn't deal with it, and in order to calm the border situation, he could only reluctantly marry Princess Qingyue to Yan Kingdom. At that time Princess Qingyue already had someone she liked, and she did not want to marry away. It was the queen mother who knelt to beg Princess Qingyue, and Princess Qingyue agreed.

Princess Qingyue has never heard from her since she married to Yan. Both the emperor and the queen mother knew that Princess Qingyue hated them.

The emperor also felt ashamed of Princess Qingyue, sending people to see her every year, and had never stopped for ten years, and had never seen Princess Qingyue.

It is said that Princess Qingyue has a son and a daughter, which is very much loved by His Majesty King Yan. Who would have thought that the children of Princess Qingyue ran all the way to China and were hunted down.

Children of Princess Qingyue? It's just right to be a child for your wife. If the emperor knew one day, he would treat his wife differently. In another ten or twenty years, when the Emperor of the Yan Kingdom will drive west of Hehe, the child is expected to claim the throne. At that time, the entire Yan Kingdom will be the wife's backing. Even if he is gone, someone will protect his wife and their children.

Ye Shaofu acted very quickly. He planned to make these two children the righteous sons and daughters of his wife, so he would fly pigeons to pass on the book that night and send the two children to Yangzhou.

After the two children arrived in Yangzhou, Ye Shaofu asked them to settle in the restaurant. He saw the two children wearing a mask.

The five-year-old is very alert, guarding the three-year-old behind him, and looking at Ye Shaofu vigilantly: "Who are you and what do you want to do?"

Since being rescued, he has been eating and drinking every day. He feels that such a life is not true. There are countless fathers and concubines, and there are many princes and princes. The mother and concubine are not from the Yan Dynasty. They are excluded in the harem. Although the guardian of the father and the emperor does not lack food and clothing, they are not very rich. Compared with the queen's children, it is too far away.

Years later, the father and the emperor’s body was not as good as the day, and the queen gradually controlled the government. In order to exclude dissidents, the queen/party, poisoned the prince, and killed the concubine. , Re-copy the family and annihilate the clan.

In order to protect them, the mother and concubine worked hard to help them escape from the palace, and ordered the loyal servants to protect them all the way and send them to China.

They had just left the palace, and the mother and concubine had hanged herself.

The queen chased them all the way to cut the grass and roots. Fortunately, they were rescued, otherwise the mother concubine would die.

Ye Shaofu looked at the child casually, smiled, and said in a low voice: "I am the one who saves you. I have no other purpose. I just see you being pitiful and pitying. I heard that some people want to □, you are willing. Are you adopted? If you are willing, I will help you arrange the next things. If you have to ask me why I saved you, I can only tell you that I and Princess Qingyue are old acquaintances."

The child has been chased for two or three months. He is no longer an ignorant child, and his mind is as mature as a teenager: "Can you guarantee our safety?"

Ye Shaofu did not answer his words, but slowly said: "Your mother and concubine want you to find your uncle, thinking that your uncle can protect you. But have you ever thought that the poisonous queen must know your purpose. In order to remove the roots, the queen does not It will stop there, and the pursuit and assassination will never end. This is the path you choose at the moment."

"Is it safe to find someone to raise us?" The child raised his head and looked at Ye Shaofu seriously.

"The person who wants to adopt you is Mrs. Shen. She used to be the wife of Wuchanghou. She has now reconciled with Wuchanghou. She also gave birth to two children. But she does not want people to know the identity of the children. In order to confuse the audience, She's just guilty, otherwise it's your turn for such a good thing?" Ye Shaofu walked to the child and pinched the child's cheek: "Mrs. Shen has a kind heart. Even the mother and child beggars are saved, and you can still treat your two children badly. Little At a young age, I have a lot of thoughts, so be careful not to grow taller."

Hearing this, the child was a little moved. Perhaps this is a good choice. Even if the uncle is the emperor, he can protect them for as long as he can easily hide with a spear, but it is hard to guard against an arrow.

They have seen the Queen’s methods, so it's better to keep his name incognito, and when he grows up, he can avenge his mother and concubine.

At the end of May, everything was the same in Shen Mansion.

Yan Qing went out to buy groceries early in the morning, opened the door and saw two children lying in the doorway. The two children were unkempt and ragged.

The elder was five or six years old, and the younger was three or four years old. The elder was holding the little one in his arms. He woke up when he heard the door opening. He woke up leisurely, opened his distraught eyes, and saw a young woman looking at them and asking weakly. One sentence: "Can a kind person give me something to eat?"

Yan Qing nodded unconsciously, remembering the words of Mr. Yun that day, put down the basket and pulled the child into the door, and shouted to the courtyard: "Sister Furong, Sister Yuhe, come on."

Furong and Yuhe heard the shouts and ran out, and saw Yan Qing holding a child together, and asked in amazement: "Whose child is this? You kidnapped it?" Even though they asked, they had guessed that it was the prince's arrangement.

"I opened the door and saw them lying at the door. Do you remember what Mr. Yun said. People with fate will naturally come to the door. Are these two children fate with us?" Yan Qing explained.

The more she thought about it, the more she felt it was possible, and she took the child's hand and walked towards the inner courtyard.

Furong and Yuhe glanced at each other and followed behind silently. Some things can't stand scrutiny, but they are all flaws when scrutinized. Still think about how to explain to the lady.

Shen Yanmo frowned slightly when she saw the two children, ragged and unkempt, they were indeed beggars. Waved to the two children, smiled and said, "Come, come over and let me see you."

Seeing that she was gentle and amiable, the child moved forward and called out to his wife.

The corners of Shen Yanmo's mouth cocked, picking up the kerchief and gently wiping their faces and hands. When it was cleaned up, Shen Yanmo's brows tightened: "Where do you live in your house, but what relatives do you have?"

Although their cheeks are thin but rosy, and their little hands are as soft as bones, they have never done a job at first sight. These two children are not children of poor people. There must be hidden secrets in how they fell to the point of being beggars.

Although she wants to squeeze, but she doesn't want to cause trouble, she has enough trouble.
